It's not MCS, but I thought some might be interested. Farewell Continental (mentioned in the news posting below this one) is playing January 4th at the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis, MN.

Here is the information on the show from the venue's website:
RED FOX GREY FOX
TRACE THE SKYLINE
NOW AND FOREVER
FAREWELL CONTINENTAL

All Ages | 5:00 PM | $7.00

There is a an auction going on to benefit charity, so if you have some money to spend for a good cause and want a collectible MCS poster check this out!
Signed poster for Bid 2 Beat AIDS - All proceeds of the auction go to LIFEbeat, a nonprofit which aims at targeting today's youth with the message of AIDS prevention and awareness. For more information about LIFEbeat and its mission, please visit www.lifebeat.org.

My second bit of news is that Justin's side project (I'll call it a side project, but I don't really know what it is), Farewell Continental, recently played a set at the Ed Ackerson CD release show at the Varsity Theater in Minnesota on November 28th. This was their second show (the first was in October). Anyway, the band features members of Motion City Soundtrack, Small Towns Burn a Little Slower, and To Reinvent. I saw some pictures posted on Flickr from the show, so check those out if you're interested.

And finally, Jeff sent me this behind the scenes video that he did with Xtension Productions for Justin's short film Make A Wish. Enjoy!

Happy birthday to Matt today! =)

and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there tomorrow!

Also, I've added a couple of college shows on the tour dates page so check that out. One is in Rochester, NY and the other is in Pittsburgh, PA.

I went to the Towson, MD show last night at the Recher Theatre. I posted the setlist so check that out. On the MCS message board Josh posted they are varying the setlist though so it may be different at other shows. Overall it was an awesome show, probably one of the best MCS shows I've seen in the past couple years. Their energy was intense and Justin's voice sounded better than ever, so don't miss this tour!

I've posted my pics from the show plus Hannah's pics, so check those out in the gallery.

And here's Hannah's amazing video of A-OK. I took a video of Point of Extinction that I will probably post tomorrow.

And since I won't be here, happy birthday to Jesse on June 3 =)

Someone sent in this review and pics from the Milwaukee, WI show at the Eagles Ballroom on 5/25. Enjoy!



As soon as the lights went out in the Eagles Ballroom at the Rave in Milwaukee, WI, the crowd gave a roaring chant of "MCS, MCS." Justin Pierre and the band opened with My Favorite Accident, which left the ballroom audience yearning for more. Motion City Soundtrack played extraordinarily well from keyboarding, to guitar riffs, and upbeat drumming. Justin's powerful vocals from the beginning of the show until the end left an impact on the audience to want to see them whenever they come back to Milwaukee. Motion City is always a solid performance, so go out and buy a ticket!

Photos and story written by Ryan Schubert.
A special thanks to Sonia at the Stunt Company.

Happy Birthday to Justin Pierre today! =)

Motion City Soundtrack will be supporting Panic At The Disco for the 2008 Honda Civic Tour, according to an article on Billboard.com. The tour will kick off on April 10 at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco, CA and end June 14 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA. A full list of dates and support acts will be released in early February when tickets go on sale. The tour will mainly hit theaters and scaled-down arenas in the United States and Canada and tickets will be priced between $25 and $35.

Motion City Soundtrack is on the cover of the new issue of the UK magazine Big Cheese magazine (January 2008). There is also a page-long interview inside and you can see the cover below. Check out their site at bigcheesemagazine.com to order a copy!

Happy New Year everyone :)

In other news, Justin updated us on the "Antonia" project a few days ago and mentioned that is was on hold (thanks Katie):
"the antonia project has been put on hold. heidi, my partner in crime, has had a family emergency and needed to drop out at the last minute. we still have plans to fulfill the project in the future but the exact date/dates are to be determined. the only upside to this is that i can now focus on the make-a-wish project in it's entirety and maybe move into the place i've been living in for the last 2 years."

You can read all the blog entries at the official MCS site in the journal section. His most recent blog says that he is looking for film students in Minnesota interested in documenting the process of making his short film.
